Connecticut  Company,  from  the  holders  of  similar  bonds, 
who  shall  not  have  substituted  therefor  the  bonds  hereby  pro-

in  no  event  to  be  displaced  or  in  any  manner  affected  by  any

Company  may  acquire  through  or  by  means  of  any  proceeding 
upon  such  mortgages  or  deeds  of  trust  shall  be  subject  and

proper  deed  of  further  assurance  ; Provided , however , that  the 
Connecticut  Company  shall  have  the  right  at  any  time  to  make 
demand  upon  the  Trustee  for  the  cancellation  by  it  of  any 
of  said  underlying  bonds,  which  demand  shall  be  expressed  by

pany, and  upon  the  receipt  of  a duly  certified  copy  of  said  res- 
olution, the  Trustee  shall  thereupon  cancel  the  bonds  so  re- 
quested to  be  canceled.

at  par,  of  underlying  bonds  shall  be  taken  up  at  their 
maturity,  and  that  their  time  of  payment  shall  not  be  extended. 
Upon  the  maturing  of  any  of  said  underlying  bonds  not  so 
acquired  by  the  Connecticut  Company,  or  upon  any  earlier 
date  at  which  they  may  be  redeemable  or  called,  the  Trustee 
shall  sell  an  equal  amount  in  par  value  of  the  one  million 
four  hundred  and  ten  thousand  eight  hundred  dollars 
($1,410,800)  of  the  bonds  hereby  secured  and  reserved  as 
shall  remain  undisposed  of  as  aforesaid,  at  public  or  private 
sale,  as  and  when  requested  by  the  Connecticut  Company, 
and  out  of  the  proceeds  of  such  sale  shall  pay  off  and  dis- 
charge, so  far  as  the  same  are  sufficient,  such  unacquired 
underlying  bonds  and  pay  the  balance  over  to  said  Connecticut 
Company;  and  if  the  proceeds  of  such  bonds  shall  not  be  suffi- 
cient to  pay  in  full  said  underlying  bonds  then  unacquired, 
the  Connecticut  Company  shall  pay  to  said  Trustee  in  cash 
the  amount  of  any  such  deficiency  for  application  by  said 
Trustee  to  the  payment  of  said  underlying  bonds.  All  of 
said  underlying  bonds  constituting  any  of  the  above-men- 


tioned  issues,  when  received  in  exchange  as  aforesaid,  or  when 
paid,  shall  be  surrendered  to  and  canceled  by  the  Trustee, 
which  shall,  as  soon  as  practicable,  cause  the  mortgages  secur- 
ing the  same  respectively  to  be  satisfied  and  discharged  of 
record. 

In  case  any  of  the  above-mentioned  outstanding  bonds  for 
the  payment  and  retirement  of  which  the  said  one  million 
four  hundred  and  ten  thousand  eight  hundred  dollars 
$1,410,800),  at  par,  of  the  said  bonds  secured  by  this  mort- 
gage are  to  be  retained  uncertified  by  said  Trustee,  as  aforesaid, 
shall  be  found  to  have  been  discharged,  paid  off,  or  retired  in 
any  way,  so  that  the  same  are  no  longer  outstanding  valid 
obligations,  then  and  in  every  such  case  the  bonds  included  in 
the  above-mentioned  one  million  four  hundred  and  ten 
thousand  eight  hundred  dollars  ($1,410,800),  at  par,  which 
otherwise  would  be  applied,  as  above  provided,  to  purchase  or 
pay  for,  take  up  or  replace  such  bonds  so  found  to  have  been 
purchased,  exchanged,  or  paid  for,  taken  up,  or  replaced,  shall 
be  held  by  said  Trustee,  and  shall  be  added  to  the  five  million 
six  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars  ($5,650,000),  at  par,  of 
bonds  to  be  retained  by  said  Trustee,  as  in  subdivision  3 of  this 
article  provided,  and  shall  be  delivered  by  said  Trustee  to  the 
said  Connecticut  Company  upon  the  same  terms,  in  the  same 
manner,  and  for  the  same  purposes  therein  prescribed  with 
respect  to  the  said  five  million  six  hundred  and  fifty  thousand 
dollars  ($5,650,000),  at  par,  of  said  bonds. 

3.  The  balance,  being  five  million  six  hundred  and  fifty 
thousand  dollars  ($5,650,000),  at  par,  of  said  bonds,  shall  be 
retained  by  the  Trustee,  and  shall  be  certified  and  delivered 
from  time  to  time  by  the  Trustee,  and  shall  be  used  by  the 
Connecticut  Company  only  for  the  purposes  of  acquiring 
other  like  plants  or  property,  real  or  personal,  from  com- 
panies authorized  to  manufacture,  use,  or  sell  gas,  electricity, 
or  water,  and  also  to  such  extent  as  said  corporation  shall  be 
legally  authorized  so  to  use  the  same  for  the  purposes  of  mak- 
ing additions  to  or  extensions  or  betterments  of  its  plants : Pro- 
vided, however , That  no  part  of  the  bonds  in  this  subdivision 
referred  to  shall  be  used  in  the  acquisition  of  the  plants  and 


105 


property  of  any  corporation  authorized  to  manufacture,  use,  or 
sell  gas,  electricity,  or  water  as  a going  concern,  either  by  pur- 
chase of  its  physical  property  or  assets  or  of  its  capital  stock, 
unless  the  plant  and  property  of  such  company  shall,  when 
acquired,  be  free  from  any  mortgage,  or  lien,  or  debt,  other 
than  current  liabilities. 

The  Trustee  shall  not  deliver  any  of  the  bonds  in  this  sub- 
division 3 referred  to,  except  upon  resolution  of  the  board  of 
directors  of  the  Connecticut  Company  calling  for  such  deliv- 
ery and  stating  the  purposes  for  which  they  are  to  be  used, 
and,  in  the  case  of  the  making  of  additions,  extensions,  or 
betterments,  as  aforesaid,  that  the  actual  cost  thereof  to  the 
Connecticut  Company  is  such  as  legally  justifies  the  delivery  of 
the  bonds  called  for  for  the  purpose  of  making  said  additions, 
extensions,  or  betterments,  and  in  the  case  of  the  acquisition 
of  plants  or  other  property,  as  aforesaid,  that  the  actual  cost 
thereof  to  the  Connecticut  Company  is  more  than  the  par  value 
of  the  bonds  called  for  for  the  purpose  of  the  acquisition  of  such 
plant  and  property,  and  a copy  of  any  such  resolution,  duly  cer- 
tified by  the  secretary  of  the  Connecticut  Company,  shall  in 
case  of  every  such  call  be  presented  to  the  said  Trustee,  and 
shall  be  evidence  to  the  Trustee  of  the  said  call  and  of  the 
purposes  for  which  the  said  bonds  are  to  be  used,  and  of  the 
further  facts  therein  stated,  as  above  provided. 

The  Trustee  shall  not  be  in  anywise  responsible  for  the 
application  of  any  bonds  or  the  proceeds  of  any  bonds  which 
may  be  certified  and  delivered  by  it  in  accordance  herewith. 

It  is  further  covenanted  by  the  Connecticut  Company  that 
it  will  deliver  to  the  Trustee  all  shares  of  stock  purchased  by 
it  with  the  proceeds  of  bonds  as  hereinbefore  provided,  and 
that  with  said  shares  of  stock  delivered  from  time  to  time 
by  the  Connecticut  Company  to  said  Trustee,  said  Connecti- 
cut Company  will  deliver  to  the  Trustee  assignments,  duly 
executed,  accompanied  by  irrevocable  powers  of  attorney,  for 
the  transfer  or  registration  of  the  same  in  the  name  of  the 
Trustee.  Said  powers  of  attorney  shall  not  in  any  case  be  ex- 
ercised and  no  transfers  or  registrations  shall  be  made  under 
the  same  excepting  in  pursuance  of  the  provisions  hereof.

It  is  further  covenanted  that  until  default  in  the  payment 
of  the  principal  or  interest  of  the  bonds  hereby  secured,  or  in 
any  other  provision  of  this  mortgage,  said  Connecticut  Com- 
pany may  have  and  exercise  all  the  rights  of  ownership  of 
said  shares  of  stock  delivered  to  the  Trustee  hereunder,  except 
the  right  of  transfer  or  possession  of  such  shares  of  stock,  the 
same  as  if  this  indenture  had  not  been  made  ; but  nothing 
herein  contained  shall  be  construed  to  in  any  way  control,  im- 
pair, or  in  any  way  to  direct  the  corporate  action  of  any  such 
company,  or  the  discharge  of  its  duties  or  functions  in  the  or- 
dinary way.  It  is  expressly  understood  and  agreed,  however, 
that  the  voting  power  of  the  company  upon  any  of  the  shares 
of  stock  delivered  hereunder  shall  not  be  used  or  exercised 
for  the  purpose  of  authorizing  an  increase  in  the  capital  stock 
of  any  of  said  companies,  or  any  lien,  security,  or  charge  to 
be  created  or  imposed  upon  the  property  or  franchises  of 
any  of  said  companies.  In  case  of  the  failure  on  the  part  of 
the  Connecticut  Company  to  comply  with  these  limitations 
or  restrictions  it  shall  be  within  the  power  of  the  Trustee 
to  cause  the  shares  of  stock  of  the  companies  whose  shares 
of  stock  shall  be  delivered  hereunder  to  be  actually  trans- 
ferred upon  the  books  thereof  into  its  name.  In  such 
event  it  may  thereafter  give  proxies  or  powers  of  attorney 
from  time  to  time  to  the  Connecticut  Company  to  vote  upon 
said  shares  of  stock,  and  such  proxies  or  powers  of  attor- 
ney shall  be  given  subject  to  all  the  limitations  herein  im- 
posed upon  the  Connecticut  Company  with  regard  to  voting 
upon  said  shares  of  stock  ; in  all  other  respects  the  shares 
thus  transferred  into  the  name  of  the  Trustee  shall  be  held 
subject  to  all  the  rights  of  the  Connecticut  Company  to  divi- 
dends, as  hereinafter  provided,  until  default.  No  provision 
of  this  mortgage  shall  be  construed  to  prohibit  the  Con- 
necticut Company,  before  default  and  transfer  of  shares  de- 
livered hereunder,  from  receiving  and  holding  and  .disposing 
of,  free  from  all  trusts,  the  dividends  and  other  income  which 
may  be  paid  upon  said  shares  of  stock,  saving  to  such  extent 
as  is  hereinabove  specifically  prohibited.  Nothing  herein  con- 
tained shall  interfere,  until  default  as  above  mentioned,  with 


107 


the  Connecticut  Company,  as  stockholder  of  the  said  shares 
of  stock  delivered  hereunder,  in  voting  upon  said  shares  of 
stock  for  the  sale  to  the  Connecticut  Company  of  the  prop- 
erty of  said  companies  whose  shares  are  delivered  hereunder, 
nor  the  merger  or  consolidation  of  said  companies,  with  the 
Connecticut  Company  : Provided , however , that  this  mortgage 
shall  become  a first  lien  upon  the  property  of  said  companies  so 
sold,  merged,  or  consolidated  with  the  Connecticut  Company. 

5.  Before  certifying  or  delivering  any  bonds,  the  coupons 
thereon  then  matured  shall  be  cut  off,  canceled,  and  delivered 
to  the  Connecticut  Company. 

Article  II. 

So  long  as  no  default  shall  be  made  in  the  payment  of  the 
principal  or  interest,  or  any  part  thereof, payable  upon  the  bonds 
hereby  secured,  as  the  same  shall  respectively  become  due  and 
payable,  or  in  the  performance  of  the  covenants  herein  contained 
to  be  performed  by  the  Connecticut  Company,  the  Connecticut 
Company  shall  be  suffered  and  permitted  by  the  Trustee  to  re- 
main in  full  possession,  enjoyment,  and  control  of  all  the  plants, 
franchises,  privileges,  and  other  property,  real,  personal,  and 
mixed,  herein  expressed  to  be  hereby  mortgaged,  and  shall  be 
permitted  to  manage  the  same,  and  to  receive,  receipt  for,  take, 
use,  enjoy,  and  dispose  of  the  rents,  tolls,  earnings,  profits, 
revenues,  and  income  thereof  in  the  same  manner  and  with 
the  same  effect  as  if  this  indenture  had  not  been  made,  with 
the  right  at  all  times,  as  the  proper  management  of  the  busi- 
ness of  the  Connecticut  Company  may  require,  to  alter,  change, 
add  to,  repair,  and  remove  the  buildings,  machinery,  and  ap- 
pliances appurtenant  to,  or  used  in  connection  with  the  plants 
or  railways  of  the  Connecticut  Company,  whether  situate  on 
its  lands  or  in  the  streets,  alleys,  lanes,  roads,  places,  build- 
ings, public  or  private,  or  elsewhere,  constructed  or  owned,  or 
hereafter  constructed  or  acquired,  by  the  Connecticut  Com- 
pany, and  conveyed,  or  intended  to  be  conveyed,  hereby  to 
the  Trustee,  and  to  sell  such  portions  thereof  as  may  at  any 
time  cease  to  be  useful  or  necessary  to  the  Connecticut  Com- 
pany : Provided , however , That  the  Connecticut  Company 


io8 


shall  (and  it  hereby  covenants  that  it  will)  maintain  and  pre- 
serve the  value  of  the  mortgaged  premises  from  impairment 
or  reduction,  by  replacing  any  of  the  said  property  which 
may  be  removed  or  sold,  by  other  property  of  at  least  equal 
value,  either  before  or  promptly  after  such  removal  or  sale, 
so  that  the  security  of  the  said  bonds  hereby  secured  shall 
not  thereby  be  in  anywise  reduced  or  impaired. 

The  Connecticut  Company  shall  have  the  further  right 
at  all  times,  provided  no  default  has  been  made,  as  aforesaid, 
to  convey  or  exchange,  freed  from  the  incumbrances  and 
trusts  hereof,  all  or  any  of  the  real  estate  now  held,  or  which 
shall  hereafter  be  acquired  by  it,  which  shall  no  longer  be 
either  useful  or  necessary  in  the  proper  and  judicious  man- 
agement and  maintenance  of  its  business  or  of  the  property 
hereby  conveyed,  and  make  any  changes  in  the  location  of 
any  of  its  tracks  or  any  alterations  of  its  routes  if,  in  the 
opinion  of  the  board  of  directors  of  the  Connecticut  Com- 
pany, such  change  or  alteration  shall  be  expedient,  said 
opinion  to  be  expressed  in  a resolution  of  said  board ; but 
in  no  case  shall  any  such  sale  or  other  disposition  of  such 
real  estate  be  made  without  the  express  assent  in  writ- 
ing of  the  Trustee;  and  said  Trustee  is  hereby  expressly 
authorized  to  release  under  its  seal  from  the  operation 
and  effect  of  this  mortgage  any  property  so  sold  or  ex- 
changed, whether  the  consideration  of  such  sale  be  wholly 
cash  or  partly  cash  and  partly  secured  by  a mortgage 
on  the  premises  sold.  The  certificate  of  the  president  or 
vice-president,  under  the  seal  of  the  Connecticut  Company, 
attested  by  the  secretary,  certifying  to  the  adoption  of  a reso- 
lution by  the  board  of  directors  of  the  Connecticut  Company 
requesting  such  release,  and  a certificate  in  writing  of  a real 
estate  broker  selected  by  the  Trustee  that  the  value  of  the 
property  taken  in  exchange,  or  the  price  obtained  in  case  of 
sale,  is  the  fair  and  reasonable  value  thereof,  shall  be  sufficient 
evidence  of  the  facts  to  warrant  any  • such  release  and  shall 
fully  protect  the  Trustee  in  respect  thereto;  but  any  property 
so  taken  in  exchange,  if  such  there  be,  shall  forthwith  become 
and  be  liable  under  this  mortgage  as  if  the  same  had  been 


109 


originally  included  herein;  and  the  net  proceeds  of  real  estate 
so  released  (if  sold)  shall  be  paid  over  and  assigned  by  the 
Connecticut  Company  to  the  Trustee,  and  shall  be  applied 
by  the  Trustee  with  all  convenient  speed  at  the  election  of  the 
Connecticut  Company,  as  follows  : Such  proceeds  shall  either 
(a)  be  turned  over  to  the  Connecticut  Company,  for  applica- 
tion by  it  to  the  betterment  or  extension  of  the  plants  and 
property  owned  or  controlled  by  it,  upon  presentation  by  the 
Connecticut  Company  of  a copy  of  a resolution  by  its  board 
of  directors,  duly  certified  by  its  secretary,  requesting  the 
payment  to  it  of  such  proceeds  and  specifying  the  nature  of 
the  betterments  or  extensions  of  the  plants  and  property 
above  mentioned,  and  certifying  that  the  value  of  such  bet- 
terments or  extensions  is  or  will  be  more  than  the  amount  of 
such  proceeds,  so  that  the  security  of  this  mortgage  shall  not 
thereby  be  diminished;  or  else  ( b ) shall  be  applied  by  the 
Trustee  towards  the  purchase  in  open  market,  from  time  to 
time,  and  at  such  prices  as  the  Trustee  shall  deem  proper, 
and  as  shall  be  approved  by  the  Connecticut  Company,  of 
one  or  more  of  the  bonds  hereby  secured,  and  all  bonds  so 
purchased  and  the  coupons  thereto  appertaining  shall  be  im- 
mediately canceled,  and  shall  cease  to  be  entitled  to  the  bene- 
fit of  the  security  hereby  provided.  It  shall  be  no  part  of  the 
duty  of  the  Trustee  to  see  to  the  application  by  the  Con- 
necticut Company  of  the  proceeds  of  any  property  released  by 
the  Trustee  as  herein  provided. 

Article  III. 

The  Connecticut  Company,  its  successors  and  assigns,  shall 
and  will,  upon  demand  in  writing  of  the  Trustee,  at  any  time, 
make,  execute,  acknowledge,  and  deliver  all  such  further  acts, 
deeds,  and  assurances  in  the  law  as  may  be  reasonably  advised 
or  required  of  them,  or  either  of  them,  for  effectuating  the  in- 
tention of  these  presents,  and  for  the  better  assuring  and  con- 
firming unto  the  Trustee,  its  successors  and  assigns,  upon  the 
trusts  and  for  the  purposes  herein  expressed,  all  and  singular 
the  property,  appurtenances,  rights,  and  franchises  hereby  mort- 
gaged, whether  now  owned  or  possessed  or  hereafter  acquired 
by  said  Connecticut  Company,  its  successors  or  assigns.

Article  IV. 

The  Connecticut  Company  shall  pay  the  principal  of  all  the 
bonds  issued  under  this  mortgage  when  the  same  shall  become 
due  by  the  terms  of  the  bonds,  or  by  declaration,  as  here- 
inafter provided,  upon  the  surrender  of  the  bonds,  and  it  shall 
pay  the  interest  thereon  according  to  the  terms  of  the  bonds 
upon  the  presentation  and  surrender  of  the  proper  coupons 
for  such  interest  and  until  the  principal  of  the  bonds  is  paid, 
without  deduction  from  the  principal  or  interest  for  any  tax 
or  taxes  which  the  Connecticut  Company  may  be  required  to 
pay,  deduct,  or  retain  therefrom  under  any  present  or  future 
law  of  the  United  States  of  America,  or  of  any  State,  county, 
or  municipality  therein. 

No  bond  shall  be  valid  or  secured  under  this  mortgage  or 
deed  of  trust  except  such  as  shall  be  authenticated  by  the  cer- 
tificate of  the  Trustee  indorsed  thereon,  signed  by  an  officer 
of  the  said  Trustee,  and  such  certificate  shall  be  conclusive 
evidence  of  the  validity  of  such  bond. 

When  and  as  the  coupons  attached  to  the  said  bonds  mature 
and  become  payable  they  shall  be  paid  by  the  Connecticut 
Company  and  the  coupons  canceled,  and  no  purchase  or  sale 
of  the  said  coupons,  or  of  any  of  them,  and  no  advance  or  loan 
thereon,  or  redemption  thereof,  by  or  on  behalf  of,  or  at  the 
request  of,  the  Connecticut  Company,  after  the  same  shall 
have  been  detached  from  the  bonds  to  which  they  belong, 
shall  keep  such  coupons  alive,  or  preserve  their  lien  upon  the 
mortgaged  property  or  franchises;  but  nothing  herein  con- 
tained shall  be  intended  or  construed  to  prevent  the  Con- 
necticut Company,  by  arrangement  with  the  holder  or  holders 
of  the  bonds  then  outstanding  from  extending  the  time  of 
payment  of  or  changing  the  rate  of  interest  on  any  or  all  of 
the  said  bonds  ; and  any  such  extended  or  changed  bond  and 
the  coupons  thereon  shall  retain  all  the  benefits  and  protection 
of  this  mortgage  to  the  same  extent  as  if  such  extension  or 
change  had  not  been  made. 

Said  Connecticut  Company  hereby  promises  and  agrees  that 
it  will  pay,  or  cause  to  be  paid,  all  taxes,  rates,  levies,  or  assess- 


Ill 


ments  which  are  or  may  be  lawfully  imposed,  levied,  or  as- 
sessed upon  any  or  all  of  the  property,  real  and  personal, 
rights,  franchises,  dividends,  and  privileges  of  said  Connecti- 
cut Company,  and  will  not  permit  any  lien  to  remain  upon  the 
premises  hereby  mortgaged. 

In  case  the  Connecticut  Company  shall  fail  to  pay  any  such 
tax  or  assessment,  or  shall  suffer  any  such  lien  to  remain  un- 
paid and  unsatisfied,  then  the  said  Trustee  may  pay,  satisfy, 
and  discharge  the  same,  but  shall  not  be  bound  so  to  do,  and 
the  Connecticut  Company  shall  repay  to  the  Trustee  all 
moneys  which  shall  be  paid  by  the  Trustee  for  the  discharge 
and  satisfaction  of  any  such  taxes,  assessments,  or  liens,  as 
above  provided,  or  which  said  Trustee  shall  be  reasonably  re- 
quired or  compelled  to  pay  to  protect  or  preserve  the  lien 
hereof,  together  with  iaterest  on  such  money  at  the  rate  of  six 
per  cent,  per  annum  from  the  date  of  the  payments  of  the 
same,  and  the  amount  so  paid  and  interest  thereon  shall  be  a 
first  lien  upon  the  premises  hereby  conveyed  superior  to  the 
lien  of  the  bonds  issued  hereunder,  and  shall  be  secured  by 
these  presents  in  like  manner  as  the  principal  of  said  bonds. 

The  Connecticut  Company  agrees  that  it  will  keep  the  prop- 
erty hereby  mortgaged,  liable  to  be  injured  or  destroyed  by 
fire,  reasonably  insured,  and  in  case  of  loss  by  fire,  to  replace 
said  property  so  destroyed  or  to  make  substitutes  therefor,  so 
that  the  capacity  of  the  plants  or  railways  to  supply  the  de- 
mands upon  them  shall  riot  be  impaired. 

Article  V. 

In  case  the  Connecticut  Company  shall  make  default  in  the 
payment  of  any  interest  accruing  upon  any  one  or  more  of 
the  bonds  hereby  secured,  or  intended  so  to  be,  according  to 
the  terms  thereof,  and  such  default  shall  continue  for  three 
months,  or  shall  make  default  in  the  performance  of  any  other 
of  the  covenants  herein  contained  on  its  part  to  be  performed, 
and  any  such  default  shall  continue  for  six  months,  then  and  in 
any  such  case  the  Connecticut  Company,  upon  demand  of  the 
Trustee,  shall  and  will  forthwith  surrender  to  the  Trustee  the 
actual  possession,  and  the  Trustee  shall  be  entitled  forthwith, 
with  or  without  process  of  law,  to  enter  into  and  upon  and  take 


1 12 


possession  of  all  and  singular  the  property  and  premises  hereby 
mortgaged,  or  intended  so  to  be,  and  each  and  every  part 
thereof,  with  all  records,  books,  papers,  and  accounts  of 
the  Connecticut  Company,  and  to  exclude  the  Connecticut 
Company  and  its  agents  and  servants  wholly  therefrom,  and 
shall  have,  hold,  and  use  the  same,  controlling,  managing,  and 
operating  by  its  superintendents,  managers,  receivers,  and 
other  agents  or  attorneys,  the  said  property  with  the  appur- 
tenances, and  conducting  the  business  and  operations  thereof, 
and  exercising  the  franchises  appertaining  thereto,  and  mak- 
ing from  time  to  time,  at  the  expense  of  the  trust  estate,  all 
repairs  and  replacements,  and  such  additions,  alterations,  ex- 
tensions, and  improvements  thereof  and  thereto  as  may  be- 
come necessary,  or  as  to  the  said  Trustee  may  seem  proper 
and  judicious  ; and  may  collect  and  receive  all  tolls,  incomes, 
rents,  issues,  and  profits  of  the  same,  and  every  part  thereof 
and  after  deducting  all  expenses  of  maintaining,  managing, 
and  operating  said  property  and  conducting  the  business 
thereof,  and  of  all  repairs,  replacements,  additions,  alterations, 
and  improvements  so  made,  and  all  payments  made  for  taxes, 
levies,  and  assessments,  insurance  premiums,  and  other 
charges  upon  said  property,  or  any  part  thereof,  and  as  well 
just  compensation  for  the  services  of  the  Trustee,  its  agents, 
clerks,  servants,  attorneys,  and  counsel,  shall  apply  the  re- 
mainder of  the  moneys  so  received  by  it,  as  follows  : In  case 
the  principal  moneys  evidenced  by  the  bonds  secured  by  this 
mortgage  shall  not  have  become  due,  or  have  been  declared 
due,  to  the  payment  of  the  interest  in  default  in  the  order  of 
the  maturity  of  the  installments  of  such  interest,  and  in  case 
said  principal  moneys  shall  have  become  due,  or  have  been 
declared  due,  then  to  the  payment  of  the  principal  and  accrued 
interest  upon  said  bonds  pro  rata , without  any  preference  or 
priority  whatsoever,  and  without  preference  of  interest  over 
principal  or  of  principal  over  interest. 

Article  VI. 

In  case  the  Connecticut  Company  shall  make  default  in 
the  payment  of  any  installment  of  interest  upon  the  bonds  - 


secured  hereby,  or  any  of  them,  and  such  default  shall  con- 
tinue for  three  months,  or  in  the  performance  of  any  other  of 
the  covenants  herein  contained  on  its  part  to  be  performed, 
other  than  to  pay  the  principal  of  the  bonds  hereby  secured 
at  maturity  thereof,  and  in  case  such  default  shall  continue  for 
six  months,  then,  and  in  any  such  case,  the  Trustee  may,  and 
if  the  holders  of  a majority  in  value  of  the  outstanding  bonds 
hereby  secured  shall  so  elect  in  writing,  and  notify  the  Trustee, 
the  Trustee  shall  declare  the  whole  principal  of  all  the  bonds 
hereby  secured  to  be  due  and  payable,  and  the  same  shall 
thereupon  immediately  become  due  and  payable,  and  it  shall 
be  the  duty  of  the  Trustee,  upon  request  in  writing,  signed  by 
the  holders  of  a majority  in  value  of  said  bonds  then  outstand- 
ing, and  upon  being  indemnified  to  its  satisfaction,  to  institute 
proper  proceedings,  at  law  or  in  equity,  to  enforce  the  lien 
hereby  created,  but  the  exercise  by  the  Trustee  of  such  right 
shall  be  subject  to  revocation  or  waiver  by  the  holders  of  a 
majority  in  value  of  the  bonds  secured  hereby,  expressed  in 
writing  and  served  upon  the  Trustee. 

Until  such  request  in  writing  shall  be  made  by  the  holders 
of  a majority  in  value  of  the  bonds  then  outstanding,  the  Trus- 
tee shall  have  full  power  and  authority  to  commence  and  pros- 
ecute (but  shall  not  be  under  any  obligation  to  institute  of  its 
own  motion)  such  proceedings  at  law  or  in  equity  from  time 
to  time  as  it  may  deem  necessary  and  proper  for  the  due  pro- 
tection and  enforcement  of  the  rights  of  the  bondholders,  or 
any  of  them,  under  these  presents,  subject,  however,  as  to  any 
such  proceedings  commenced  by  the  Trustee,  to  the  right  of 
waiver  or  revocation  on  the  part  of  the  holders  of  a majority 
in  value  of  the  said  bonds,  as  hereinabove  provided. 

The  principal  of  the  bonds  secured  hereby  having  be- 
come due  at  maturity,  or  as  in  this  Article  provided,  it 
shall  be  lawful  for  the  Trustee,  after  entry  as  in  Article 
V,  above  provided,  or  without  entry,  to  proceed  to  sell  at 
public  auction  unto  the  highest  bidder  all  and  singular 
the  property  and  franchises  hereby  mortgaged,  with  the 
appurtenances  that  shall  then  be  subject  to  the  lien,  opera- 
tion, and  effect  of  this  indenture,  and  all  benefit  and  equity 


of  redemption  of  the  Connecticut  Company,  its  successors 
or  assigns  therein.  Such  sale  shall  be  made  by  the  Trustee, 
or  by  its  attorney  or  attorneys,  agent  or  agents,  in  the 
city  of  Bridgeport,  State  of  Connecticut,  after  notice  of  the 
time  and  place  of  sale  and  of  the  property  to  be  sold  shall 
have  been  given  by  the  Trustee,  by  publication  thereof  in 
newspapers  printed  and  published  in  the  cities  of  New  York, 
New  York,  Bridgeport,  Connecticut,  and  Boston,  Massachu- 
setts, once  in  each  week  for  not  less  than  six  consecutive  weeks 
(together  with  such  other  notice,  if  any,  as  may  be  required 
by  law),  and  the  Trustee  may,  without  further  advertising  such 
sale,  adjourn  the  same  from  time  to  time  for  such  period  or 
periods  as  it  may  deem  advisable,  and  after  such  sale  shall 
execute,  acknowledge,  and  deliver  to  the  purchaser  or  pur- 
chasers a good  and  sufficient  deed  of  conveyance  of  said  prop- 
erty, which  shall  be  a bar  against  the  Connecticut  Company, 
its  successors  and  assigns,  and  all  persons  claiming  by,  through, 
or  under  it,  or  them,  with  respect  to  any  of  the  property  so 
sold.  The  Connecticut  Company  shall  and  will,  if  and  when 
thereunto  requested,  thereafter  make,  execute,  and  deliver 
such  deeds  and  other  instruments  as  it  shall  be  reasonably 
advised  or  required,  to  confirm  and  assure  such  title  and  own- 
ership in  and  to  such  purchaser  or  purchasers.  The  receipt 
of  the  Trustee  shall  be  a sufficient  discharge  to  the  purchaser 
or  purchasers  of  all  the  property  so  sold,  or  any  part  thereof, 
for  his  or  their  purchase  money;  and  the  purchaser  shall  not 
be  bound  to  see  to  the  application  of  the  purchase  money. 

Upon  the  making  of  any  such  sale  the  Trustee  shall  apply 
the  proceeds  thereof  as  follows  : — 

First. — To  the  payment  of  the  costs  and  expenses  of  such  sale 
or  sales,  including  a reasonable  compensation  to  the  Trustee, 
its  agents,  attorneys,  and  counsel,  and  all  expenses,  liabilities, 
and  advances  made  and  incurred  by  the  Trustee,  and  all  pay- 
ments made  by  it  for  taxes,  assessments  and  insurance  pre- 
miums, and  other  charges  on  the  hereby  mortgaged  property. 

Second. — To  the  payment  of  the  whole  amount  of  principal 
and  interest  which  shall  then  be  owing  or  unpaid  upon  the 


said  bonds,  or  any  of  them,  whether  the  said  principal  by  the 
tenor  of  said  bonds  be  then  due  or  yet  to  become  due,  and  in 
case  of  the  insufficiency  of  such  proceeds  to  pay  in  full  the 
whole  amount  of  principal  and  interest  owing  and  unpaid  upon 
the  said  bonds,  they  shall  be  paid  ratably  in  proportion  to  the 
amounts  owing  and  unpaid  upon  them,  respectively,  without 
preference  of  one  bond  over  any  of  the  others,  or  of  interest 
over  principal  or  of  principal  over  interest. 

Third. — To  pay  over  the  surplus,  if  any,  on  demand,  to 
whomsoever  may  be  lawfully  entitled  to  receive  the  same  by 
the  judgment  of  any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction. 

Article  VII. 

The  foregoing  powers  of  entr}/  and  of  sale  are  each  and 
both  of  them  remedies  cumulative  to  all  other  remedies  for 
the  enforcement  of  this  mortgage. 

The  right  to  enforce  this  mortgage  in  all  its  provisions 
shall  be  vested  exclusively  in  the  Trustee,  and  no  holder  or 
holders  of  bonds  or  coupons  shall  have  the  right  to  institute 
any  suit  or  proceeding  therefor  except  in  the  case  of  the  re- 
fusal of  the  Trustee,  for  thirty  days  after  demand  in  writing, 
to  institute  such  suit  or  proceeding. 

The  Trustee  shall  have  the  right  to  require  any  person  pre- 
senting any  such  request  to  deposit  his  bonds  or  coupons 
with  the  Trustee  as  proof  of  ownership,  and  to  bind  such 
bonds  or  coupons  by  the  action  to  be  taken  in  pursuance  of 
such  request,  and  such  request  shall  be  without  effect  unless 
and  until  said  bonds  or  coupons  are  so  deposited  in  case  such 
deposit  shall  be  required,  and  unless  and  until  the  Trustee 
shall  have  been  offered  satisfactory  indemnity. 

Any  waiver  by  the  Trustee  or  bondholders  of  any  default 
of  the  mortgagor  shall  not  extend  to,  or  be  taken  to  affect, 
any  subsequent  default,  or  to  impair  any  rights  arising  there- 
under as  herein  provided. 

Article  VIII. 

At  any  sale  or  sales  of  the  property  hereby  mortgaged,  or 
any  part  thereof,  whether  made  by  virtue  of  any  power  herein 


granted,  or  by  judicial  authority,  the  Trustee  may,  and  upon 
a written  request  from  the  holders  of  a majority  in  value  of 
the  bonds  hereby  secured  and  then  outstanding  shall,  bid  for 
and  purchase,  or  cause  to  be  bid  for  and  purchased,  the  same, 
for  and  in  behalf  of  all  the  holders  of  the  bonds  hereby  se- 
cured and  then  outstanding  who  shall  join  in  said  request,  in 
the  proportion  of  the  respective  interests  of  such  bondholders, 
at  a price  to  be  named  in  such  written  request.  In  any  such 
case  the  bondholders  making  the  request  shall  be  liable  for 
the  amount  so  bid  by  the  Trustee,  and  the  Trustee  may  require 
a deposit  of  cash  or  other  indemnity  as  a condition  precedent 
to  its  making  the  said  bid : Provided , nevertheless , that  any 
bondholders  not  parties  to  the  said  request  when  first  made 
may  become  parties  thereto,  and  entitled  to  the  benefits  and 
charged  with  the  responsibilities  thereof,  by  notifying  the 
Trustee  of  their  desire  to  do  so,  and  complying  with  the  terms 
required  of  those  originally  named  in  the  request,  at  any  time 
before  the  said  sale  and  purchase. 

Upon  any  such  sale,  as  above  mentioned,  the  purchaser  or 
purchasers  shall  be  entitled  to  turn  in,  use,  and  apply,  in 
making  payment  of  the  purchase  money  bidden  upon  such 
sale,  the  bonds  or  coupons  secured  hereby  and  then  outstand- 
ing, reckoning  such  bonds  or  coupons  for  such  purpose  at  a 
sum  not  exceeding  that  which  shall  be  payable  out  of  the  net 
proceeds  of  such  sale  to  the  holder  or  holders  of  such  bonds 
or  coupons  for  his  or  their  just  share  of  the  net  proceeds  of 
sale  upon  due  apportionment  of  and  accounting  for  such  net 
proceeds  applicable  to  the  payment  of  such  bonds  and  cou- 
pons, after  allowing  for  the  proportion  of  payment  which  may 
be  required  in  cash  for  the  costs  and  expenses  of  such  sale, 
and  other  costs,  charges,  and  expenses  properly  chargeable 
under  the  terms  hereof,  and  if  such  share  of  net  proceeds 
shall  be  less  than  the  amount  then  due  upon  said  bonds  and 
coupons,  or  any  of  them,  such  settlement  or  payment  shall  be 
made  to  the  extent  of  the  share  of  such  net  proceeds  applic- 
able thereto  by  receipting  such  amount  upon  said  bonds  and 
coupons  and  crediting  the  same  thereon. 

And  it  is  hereby  declared  and  made  a condition  of  this  trust 


11 7 


that  all  persons  who  shall  claim  any  interest,  benefit,  or  advan- 
tage by  virtue  of  this  instrument,  shall  take  the  same  subject 
to  all  the  terms  herein  contained,  and  .subject  to  all  the  rights

on  the  holders  of  a majority  in  value  of  the  bonds  hereby 
secured.

other  judicial  proceedings  to  enforce  the  rights  of  the  Trus- 
tee and  the  bondholders  under  these  presents,  the  Trustee 
shall  be  entitled  to  the  appointment  of  a Receiver  or  Receiv- 
ers of  the  property  hereby  mortgaged,  and  of  the  tolls,  earn- 
ings, incomes,  rents,  issues,  and  profits  thereof  pending  such 
proceedings,  with  such  powers  as  the  court  making  such 
appointment  shall  confer.  And  thereupon,  upon  the  qualifi- 
cation of  such  Receiver  or  Receivers,  all  the  estate,  property, 
and  rights  conveyed  by  this  mortgage  shall  vest  in  such 
Receiver  or  Receivers  upon  the  trusts  herein  contained,  and 
the  said  Connecticut  Company  shall  forthwith  assign,  trans- 
fer, and  set  over  to  such  Receiver  or  Receivers,  as  such,  all 
the  property,  estate,  rights,  and  appurtenances  described  or 
embraced  in  or  covered  by  this  mortgage  by  proper  deeds  or 
other  instruments  necessary  and  proper  for  that  purpose.

any  present  or  future  valuation,  stay,  extension,  or  redemp- 
tion laws,  and  hereby  irrevocably  waives  all  right  to  have 
the  mortgaged  property  and  franchises  marshaled  upon  any

istered without  expense  to  the  holder.  Each  registration  of 
a bond  shall  be  noted  on  the  bond,  after  which  no  transfer 


thereof  can  be  made,  except  on  said  books,  until  registered 
payable  to  bearer,  when  the  bond  will  become  transferable  by 
delivery  until  again  registered  in  like  manner  in  the  name  of 
the  holder.  For  the  purpose  of  administering  the  trust  cre- 
ated by  this  mortgage,  the  person  in  whose  name  any  bond  is 
registered  on  said  books  shall  be  taken  to  be  the  holder  and 
owner  thereof.

of  the  Trustee  to  discharge  said  lien  of  record  and  reconvey 
to  the  Connecticut  Company  the  estate  and  title  hereby  con- 
veyed or  intended  to  be  conveyed.  And  if  at  any  time  the 
Connecticut  Company  shall  become  the  holder  and  owner  of 
all  of  said  bonds  and  unpaid  coupons,  and  shall  present  the 
same  to  the  Trustee  and  request  the  discharge  of  the  lien  of 
these  presents,  whether  before  or  after  maturity,  the  Trustee

Article  XVI. 

It  is  hereby  agreed  and  this  trust  is  accepted  upon  the  ex- 
press condition  that  the  Trustee  shall  not,  nor  shall  any  future
